5.1 Easel Care

To ensure the longevity of your French easel, wipe it down with a dry or slightly damp cloth after each use to remove any paint residue. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the wood finish. Store the easel in a dry environment to prevent warping or damage.

5.2 Brush Cleaning and Storage

Proper cleaning of your paintbrushes is crucial for their lifespan:

1. Acrylic & Watercolor Brushes: Rinse immediately with water after use until all paint is removed. For stubborn paint, use mild soap and water.
2. Oil Brushes: Clean with a suitable brush cleaner or mineral spirits, then wash with soap and water.
3. Reshape the bristles gently and allow brushes to dry completely before storing them upright or flat to prevent damage to the bristles.

5.3 Paint Storage

Ensure paint caps are tightly sealed after each use to prevent drying. Store paints at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

6. મુશ્કેલીનિવારણ

6.1 Easel Stability Issues

If your easel feels wobbly, ensure all leg extensions are fully extended and their locking mechanisms are securely tightened. Check that the canvas support is properly seated and locked into place.

6.2 Paint Consistency

If acrylic or gouache paints appear too thick, you can thin them slightly with water. For oil paints, use a small amount of linseed oil or a suitable oil painting medium to adjust consistency. If paints have dried in the tube, they may not be recoverable.

6.3 Brush Stiffness

If brushes become stiff due to dried paint, soak them in warm water with a mild soap (for water-based paints) or appropriate solvent (for oil paints) for a few hours, then clean thoroughly. Regular cleaning after each use prevents this issue.
